This is where everything is going. It is the way everything was always ought to have been. These are His promises. A place with no tears. A place with no death. A place where the you you, the you He has been making all along will be free to run and leap and bound about in utter, complete fullness. A place where the story has no end.

We conclude Hebrews this week and cruise into James, Peter and John! Join us as we near the end of the Read Scripture series, seeing how this ultimate of all narratives impacts how we have hope in our daily lives!

2 Corinthians concludes with Jesus strength and power being made perfect in our weakness! Galatians shows us the power of the Gospel! Ephesians plumbs the depths of the riches of God’s Grace shown to us through Jesus Christ our Lord! (Oh, might be a great week for the Read Scripture Series! Jump in with us!!!)

This week we arrive at 1 Corinthians! This powerful letter deals with our default position of disunity and calls us to unity. But HOW will we arrive at unity? We preach Christ crucified. We preach Jesus risen from the dead, the first of many. This is the Gospel. This changes EVERY ASPECT OF LIFE and brings with it the unity of the Body of Christ Himself!

This week we accompany the Apostles to Thessalonica, Berea, Athens and Ephesus. Watch what happens when Jesus’ followers “cause trouble all over the world” or “turn the world upside down” with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control!

We conclude Mark’s Gospel and instead of jumping into Luke (which we’ll read together with Acts) we go to John’s Gospel where we see Jesus’ story told from a different perspective: one that we will journey in together as we Read Scripture!

We have arrived at the New Testament! It is time for two things: If you haven’t kept up, now’s the time to jump back in! Second, regardless if you’ve been tracking all the way through, or you are just jumping back in: it is time to celebrate! THE KING IS HERE.

The ending of 2 Chronicles is the ending of the Old Testament. And it cannot be overstated how the Old Testament literally ends mid-sentence. “And let him go up…” The Chronicler has reminded us of “where we are” in the story and highlighted what needs to happen if things are ever going to truly change.
